Cheyenne Van Leeuwen

Attorney
Cheyenne Van Leeuwen is a family law attorney who joined Marshall & Taylor in April of 2024. Though born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Cheyenne has considered the Raleigh/Durham area home since she left Fayetteville after high school. Cheyenne’s mother works in the IT field at Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), and her father is a retired Army. She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2011 to 2015, earning her B.A. in English, with a second major in Political Science. Instead of taking a gap year, Cheyenne immediately went on to attend law school at North Carolina Central University School of Law, graduating in 2018 and taking the last NC-specific Bar Examination that summer.

Cheyenne began her law career in document review before moving into the world of residential real estate closings. However, family law is her passion and is what she has always wanted to dedicate her practice to. Cheyenne has handled various issues within the realm of family law, including: domestic violence, child custody, child support, spousal support, step-parent adoptions, separation agreements, prenuptial agreements, and asset division. With a high level of empathy for her clients and a transparent communication approach, Cheyenne is passionate about helping her clients through what can be perceived as a highly emotional/stressful process.

In addition to her work in the office, Cheyenne is a member of the North Carolina Bar Association, Tenth Judicial District Bar, and Wake County Bar Association. She also serves/served on the Social Committee of the North Carolina Bar Association and the Public Service Committee of the Wake County Bar Association. Cheyenne currently lives in Raleigh with her Army Reservist boyfriend, Adam. When she’s not working, you can find her at CrossFit, reading with her book club, spending time with her friends and family, or furiously searching the internet for a new recipe to try her hand at.
